Post-project comments:
We are proud of the students’ active participation and the community’s support in promoting health practices. The enduring successes include the sustained use of treated mosquito nets and the ongoing activities of student health clubs. The project had a positive impact on the students by reducing malaria cases, improving attendance, and fostering a sense of responsibility towards community health.
The project inspired the team to create a long-lasting charity focused on improving the health and education of school children in refugee settlements.
What they said:
Helping in the refugee camp has been an incredibly transformative experience. Witnessing the resilience and determination of the children has inspired me to dedicate myself to creating a long-lasting charity that will continue to support their education and health. This project has shown me the profound impact that even small efforts can have on a community, and I am committed to making a difference for these children
